"419" Scam – Advance Fee / Fake Lottery Scam

The so-called "419" scam is a type of fraud dominated by criminals from Nigeria and other countries in Africa. Victims of the scam are promised a large amount of money, such as a lottery prize, inheritance, money sitting in some bank account, etc.

Victims never receive this non-existent fortune but are tricked into sending their money to the criminals, who remain anonymous. They hide their real identity and location by using fake names and fake postal addresses as well as communicating via anonymous free email accounts and mobile phones.

Keep in mind that scammers DO NOT use their real names when defrauding people.
The criminals either abuse names of real people or companies or invent names or addresses.
Any real people or companies mentioned below have NO CONNECTION to the scammers!

Some comments by the Scam-O-Matic about the following email:

An email address listed inside this email has been used in a known fraud before.
This email uses a separate reply address that is different from the sender address. Spammers use this to get replies even when the original spam sending accounts have been shut down. Also, sometimes the sender addresses are legitimate looking but fake and only the reply address is actually an email account controlled by the scammers.
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.
This email lists free webmail addresses. Use of such addresses is typical for scams. Lotteries, banks and any but the smallest of companies do not normally use such addresses. Criminals use them to anonymously send and receive email at Internet cafes.

Hi Dear

I know we haven't met but feasibly your public profile convinced me of your dependability. I?m Rosemary, 27 years old the daughter of Eng. Johan Robertson, from South Africa. My father was an engineer and a contractor before he died and the contract he did under Chevron Oil Company has just been approved. I need your assistant to invest this entitlement into a profitable business.

My uncle has taken all my father's properties and requested for the approval documents of this benefits which I refused to give him and now he is threatening to kill me if I don?t give him the documents to claim my inheritance and this is the only thing left for me, the company is asking me now to present someone that i trust to assist me as my father's partner, and I?m afraid i don't have any one i can trust that is why i contacted you.

i have discussed with my family consultant to offer you 20% for your assistant. I will also allow you to be a shareholder in any establishment over there in your country. I know the process will require some expenses but whatever you spend during the process, you will subtract it from the total. I will appreciate to hear from you if you are interested to assist me. Pls kindly reply direct to my email: rosemw85@gmail.com

Yours sincerely,
Rosemary,
